'IO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOER'N:

Be it known that I, CHARLES H'. CHAPMAN, of Sherley, in the county of Middlesex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an improved Merchandise Tag; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to' the letters of reference 'marked thereon.

Nature.

The nature-of my invention is in fastening a string into a. merchandise teg.

To enable others skilled in the artvto make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construen tion and use. Y

Drawings.

Figure 1 represents the tag complete.

Figure 2 represents an elevation of a spangle as it appears when bent in the form it assumes in the card, as at B, figs. 1, 5, and 6.

Figure 3 is an elevation of the spangle bent ready to be inserted in the card.

Figure 4, as it appears before being bent.

Figure 5 is an isometrical view, showing a part of the card.

Figure 6 is a longitudinal section through the tag.

A represents the card, made of two pieces of pasteboard in the following manner: Two pieces of pasteboard of suitable thickness are cut out in the desired form, and one of these pieces is spread with glue, paste, or any adhesive matter. Then the string C C is laid upon it, loop end in, as shovl'n in gs. 1 and 5. New the second piece is laid upon the first and' made to adhere. When this is accomplished, the spangle' B, bent as shown in tig. 3, is driven through both pieces, so that both branches of the string shall be included between its two prongs, as shown in iig. I. 'Ihc two prongs are now riveted down on the back of the card, as shown in figs. 2, 5, and 6, and the article is complete.

The advantages that I claim for my improved tag are that the strings are permanently attached to it., both by adhesive matter and by the metallic spangle B, so that if the tag should become thoroughly saturated the string would still be held by the spangle B. This tag can be made as cheap as any in the market.

Having thus described my invention, I will proceed to set forth my claim.

C'laz'm.' i v What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is i The spangle B, in combination with the string C C and card A, made substantially-as described and for the purpose set forth. v

CHARLES II. CHAPMAN.
